FeAsiBility of a Treatment Free Interval in Newly Diagnosed MM Patients Treated With Daratumumab-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (HOVON174MM)

In the Netherlands, the standard treatment for multiple myeloma is a combination of different medicines named daratumumab-lenalidomide-dexamethasone, abbreviated as Dara-Rd. In many patients this treatment results in suppressing the disease for a long time. The treatment is continued until it is not effective anymore and the disease progresses.

But until now it is unknown whether continuous therapy also leads to prolonging life. In addition, there are concerns about side effects, leading to a reduced quality of life, the development of severe toxicity that remains, which hampers subsequent therapy, and high costs due to prolonged treatment.

There are indications that temporarily stopping treatment is safe, leading to fewer side effects and allows recovering from toxicity or damage due to treatment. This may improve the quality of life.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patient was diagnosed with MM, based on the IMWG criteria, and measurable disease at the time of diagnosis (appendix A).
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Patient was treated with 12 cycles (13 cycles is accepted) of Dara-Rd and will continue treatment with Dara-Rd. Reduced dosing of lenalidomide, but not to less than 5 mg, and previous discontinuation or dose reduction of dexamethasone is allowed.
  • Partial response or better after treatment with 12 cycles of Dara-Rd, without signs of biochemical progression.
  • ANC ≥ 1.0x109/L and platelets ≥ 75x109/L.
  • Patient is capable of giving informed consent.
  • Written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patient with non-secretory MM at diagnosis of the disease, i.e., before the start of treatment with Dara-Rd.
  • Patient in whom a plasmacytoma was the only measurable parameter at diagnosis of the disease, i.e., before the start of treatment with Dara-Rd.
  • Patient in whom urine M-protein was the only measurable parameter at diagnosis of the disease, i.e., before the start of treatment with Dara-Rd.
  • Patient in whom treatment with daratumumab, lenalidomide or both has been discontinued for whatever reason (patients may only have discontinued dexamethasone).
  • Patient in whom continuation of treatment with Dara-Rd is deemed not feasible because of medical reasons.
  • Any psychological, familial, sociological and geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule.

Treatment and study plan

Daratumumab Injection

Drug

Patients who have been treated with 12 cycles of Daratumumab-Lenalidomide-Dexamethasone (Dara-Rd) will be randomized between Arm A (continuous therapy) and Arm B (treatment free interval)

Dexamethasone

Drug

Patients who have been treated with 12 cycles of Daratumumab-Lenalidomide-Dexamethasone (Dara-Rd) will be randomized between Arm A (continuous therapy) and Arm B (treatment free interval)

Lenalidomide capsule

Drug

Patients who have been treated with 12 cycles of Daratumumab-Lenalidomide-Dexamethasone (Dara-Rd) will be randomized between Arm A (continuous therapy) and Arm B (treatment free interval)

Primary outcomes

  1. Compare Event-Free Survival (EFS)

    Time frame: Approximately up to 57 (EFS) months after randomization of the first patient

    To compare Event-Free Survival (EFS) from the time of randomization, between arm A continuous therapy with Dara-Rd until PD versus arm B discontinuation of therapy with Dara-Rd, resuming therapy at the first signs of biochemical progression until PD

  2. Compare Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 (PFS) months after randomization of the first patient

    To compare Progression Free Survival (PFS) from the time of randomization, between arm A continuous therapy with Dara-Rd until PD versus arm B discontinuation of therapy with Dara-Rd, resuming therapy at the first signs of biochemical progression until PD

Secondary outcomes

  1. Compare adverse event burden

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the first patient

    To compare adverse event (AE) burden between arms

  2. Compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the first patient

    To compare PROMs between arms via validated questionnaires such as Impact of Cancer version 2 Cancer Worry scale

  3. Compare cost-effectiveness between arms

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the first patient

    To compare cost-effectiveness between arms

  4. Determine the length of the treatment-free interval

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the first patient

    To determine the length of the treatment-free interval (TFI) in arm B

  5. Determine time to (maximal) response response

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the first patient

    To determine time to (maximal) response after restart of Dara-Rd in arm B.

  6. Compare time to next treatment

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the first patient

    To compare time to next treatment (TTNT) between arms

  7. Compare time from randomization to progression on second-line therapy

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the first patient

    To compare time from randomization to progression on second-line therapy (PFS2) between arms.

  8. Compare Overall Survival

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the last patient

    To compare Overall Survival (OS) between arms.

  9. Compare the discontinuation rate

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the first patient

    To compare the discontinuation rate and the reasons for discontinuation between arms.

  10. Evaluate cumulative doses

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the first patient

    To evaluate cumulative dose of daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone in both arms.

  11. Compare dose reductions

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the first patient

    To compare dose reductions of daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone between arms.

  12. Compare toxicity

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the first patient

    To compare toxicity according to CTCAE v5 between arms

  13. Compare Quality of Life

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the first patient

    To compare Quality of Life between arms via validated questionnaires such as QLQ-C30, MY20, EQ-5D-5L

  14. Compare relative dose intensity

    Time frame: Approximately up to 69 months after randomization of the first patient

    To compare relative dose intensity (RDI) of daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone between arms.
